So...being ill as a lone parent truly sucks.

[FuntimeFuschia]

Luckily the DC are with Twatface until tomorrow evening. I have tonsillitis and feeling rotten and proper sorry for myself. This is probably the first time since I threw him out that I'm really feeling miserable being single :( I want someone to look after me!

Tonsillitis is flippin' evil . Have you got some anti-B's? Or are you going to ride it out?

Oh god yes I was straight at the GP's, no messing :) have AB's and co-codamol, and starting to feel a little bit less like death now. And I have ice cream.
It is wretched though. Bleurgh. I know when I feel better I will be happy about being single again. I just wish I had someone to bring me ice cubes and stroke my head :(

Yep I have had pneumonia for the past two days fortunately I was kid free....but the kids came back today who were lovely, but I'm now exhausted! Hope
You feel better soon.

Bloody hell, pneumonia?! Not good, I hope you are feeling better soon. I'm collecting the DC from nursery this evening so spending the day attempting to revive myself and get organised. I am going to TRY and go to work tomorrow, but not convinced it's going to happen...

Oh it was my worst time ever as a lp. I remember crashing in and out of consciousness and thinking I was hallucinating when I heard the army wives sing as I thought they were angels singing to me.

I cried buckets at nothing. And felt so alone. I wasn't - it just felt like it. And it was so shit not to be able to get things like grapes as that was all I could stomach as I couldn't get out. And when xh came with dd he brought apples in spite of me asking for grapes. That's so typical of him and I got cross at myself for once again asking him for help, only to be let down.

It turned out to be a great lesson to me to just ask for help, which is never done before as I thought people would think I was imposing. I bit the bullet and put it on facebook and ended up with 100 people commenting, offers of help with dd from people I wouldn't have asked and people turning up on my doorstep to bring soup and stuff.

I hope you have people around able to help and that both if you feel better soon. I really do know how you feel.

Hope Anti Biotics have kicked in...

I was ill Friday with avirus, dizzy achy, and upset stomach, couldn't work or take DS to school...Phoned and asked for help, It took me a long time to be able to ask for help..I figured if his dad couldn't look after his son how could I ask other people but they are my friends not his

Being ill and an LP is awful. I had to put off an operation for 10 years as I couldn't take the 8 weeks non-driving recovery off when I was ferrying kids around.
I swear by multi vitamins, they seem to keep the worst at bay. Plus lots of DVDs, toast and pasta for days hence cooking is beyond a chore. Get well soon
